The twenty minutes between a 5 a.m. client and the next door
A 5 a.m. client who lives twenty minutes from the last session will erase the following hour if that drive is missing from the ticket.
Mobile trainers do not lose the morning inside the session. They lose it in the car. A 5 a.m. client who lives twenty minutes from the previous door needs that gap written down, or the next hour is a promise the trainer cannot keep.
Picture a real book. The first client is a garage on the edge of a subdivision. The second lives in a courtyard apartment the map calls twelve minutes and the school traffic calls twenty. If Ember holds 6:00 because both sessions are "an hour," the trainer arrives during the warm-up they already texted, sweaty from a drive that was never on the ticket.
The sheet on this site counts it the way the morning actually works. Six sessions at sixty minutes is six hours of training. Five gaps at twenty minutes is another hundred minutes of driving. An eight-hour day from the first door to the last then has twenty training minutes left. That is not another client. That is the margin for a wrong turn and a gate that sticks.
Trainers who keep the gap in a text thread rewrite it every Monday. The client who moved buildings does not update the thread. The substitute who takes the book sees "5 a.m." and nothing else. Ember asks for the minutes between addresses while the caller is still on the line, and she will not stack the next hour on top of a drive that eats it.
She drank the coffee in the car and started nine minutes short. That is how a 5 a.m. client decides the trainer is late.
